Chapter 5: Navigation & Communication Equipment
Read the manuals for all navigation & communication equipment before using these systems.
Compass (If Equipped)
NOTICE
•
•
•
Compass accuracy can be affected by many factors.
Have a qualified technician calibrate your compass.
Make sure the technician gives you a deviation card which shows the corrections to apply in
navigational calculations.
•
Keep a copy of the deviation card at the helm.
Depth Finder (If Equipped)
!
WARNING!
•
•
Do NOT use the depth finder as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat
damage or personal injury.
When the boat is moving, submerged objects will NOT be seen until they are already under
the boat.
•
•
Bottom depths may change too quickly to allow time for the boat to react.
If you suspect shallow water or submerged objects, run the boat at very slow speeds.
VHF Radio (If Equipped)
•
•
Your boat may include a VHF (Very High Frequency) radio.
As permitted by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), the VHF radio can be used to access weather
reports, summon assistance, or contact other vessels.
•
Contact the FCC for licensing, rules and regulations concerning VHF radio usage.
